Description Jan Henke 2019-07-02 11:30:04 UTC
I have upgraded to testing (~amd64) mutter, but since then experiencing random freezes of the whole desktop whenever I use one of the JetBrains IDE with a several dialogue windows open (i.e. if I have a project opened, I go to the project settings and if I open the settings of a dependency, which opens another dialogue window, the wm simply freezes after a few seconds.

Unfortunately nothing works to get the WM to unfreeze, so I cannot access any terminal or TTY. Therefore I cannot pinpoint the cause right now, only the symptoms.

Comment 1 Kamil Kamiński 2019-07-04 08:30:06 UTC
Same for me, JetBrains PhpStorm trying to unlock GPG card used for signing commits freezes UI completely under both Wayland and X11.

SIGKILLing gnome-shell helps to regain control, but still unable to unlock my gpg keys as every trial ends with freeze.
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-07-04 08:52:58 UTC
A backtrace into the freeze would be helpful, to narrow down which patch causes it, to find a follow-up fix easier.
Could be done from another computer with SSH, or maybe a VT switch would work in a X11 session (but not sure it won't muddle the current thread backtrace with a signal handler thread).
Or alternatively dropping some of the extra patches selectively to narrow it down. The extra patches in the r2 patchset, compared to -r1, are 0011, 0014, 0017 and onwards.
Comment 3 Kamil Kamiński 2019-07-04 09:13:06 UTC
My journalctl stays empty, there is also nothing in dmesg - mutter does not crash. The only reported error is:

lip 04 10:55:40 stacjonarka org.gnome.Shell.desktop[1791]: [2507:2507:0704/105540.472366:ERROR:buffer_manager.cc(488)] [.DisplayCompositor]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glBufferData: <- error from previous GL command

But this happens before Jetbrains even started, not sure if during session startup, or gdm.

I'll go with disabling patches and report back.
Comment 4 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-07-04 11:12:08 UTC
If you disable all patches, it'll of course work. It's one of the extra patches added in -r2 that causes issues. So yeah, try to disable like half of the new ones, see if it's a problem then too, and so on. For backtrace, I meant that when it's frozen, one could attach a gdb to mutter/gnome-shell over SSH and get a "thread apply all by full" stacktrace; then I can figure out from there in which function it got stuck (probably a deadlock of some kind) and based on that hopefully narrow it down easier.

Knowing how to exactly reproduce would be good too - outside some IDE I don't have (can I get it easily without installing a java stack?).

Stacktrace of frozen gnome-session without patch 22 applied

New stacktrace without patch 22 being applied while building. Unfortunately this did not fix the issue.
Comment 7 Jan Henke 2019-07-04 19:52:11 UTC
Can this be an incarnation of upstream issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/660 ?
Comment 8 Jan Henke 2019-07-04 19:54:00 UTC
Possible upstream patch to address the issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/669

gdb-stacktrace unmodified mutter with debugsyms and sources

Attaching my stacktrace gathered on "debugsyms sources" gnome-shell/mutter.
Sources not modified, with all patches applied.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to simply apply upstream patch from MR 669 to our mutter.

I'll try building without patch #30 as it seems to modify code around focusing windows.

Is there fastest way than repacking patches and recalculating digest for ebuild?

Jetbrains IDEs are bundled with Java, no need to install anything, just download trial of IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Rubymine or anything from jetbrains website and click around project settings.
Comment 10 Kamil Kamiński 2019-07-05 07:40:11 UTC
Removed 0030-window-x11-Focus-the-default-window-with-delay-while.patch, recalculated Manifest, rebuilt, SIGKILLed gnome-shell and made commit, unlock gpg card, sign that commit, perfectly fine. My problem is fixed.

@Jan can you confirm it fixes your IDE too?
Comment 11 Jan Henke 2019-07-05 20:19:12 UTC
I can confirm, patch 0030 seems to cause this issues. Removing it makes the Java apps work again (patch 0022 seems unrelated).
Comment 12 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-07-06 07:26:25 UTC
I'll drop the whole patch series from 0022 until the end of origin/gnome-3-30 upstream patches until https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/660 solution is merged to gnome-3-30. Sorry for the trouble, but this problematic patchset got backported to stable releases by upstream and I didn't hit it on wayland and my programs.

    x11-wm/mutter: remove problematic patch series from new patchset
    
    A 9-10 commits patchset introduces issues to JetBrains IDE as per
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/660
    A specific commit is identified, but drop the whole merge to be
    safe (this reintroduces problems that the MR originally fixed).
    A follow-up patchset was also merged to the stable branch, so drop
    that as well, as its behaviour without the preceding patchset is
    not tested.
    
    Lots of the good stuff is still kept in the patchset over -r1.

Comment 14 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-08-18 11:36:40 UTC
I've added x11-wm/mutter-3.30.2-r4 that adds back the problematic patches, but with the extra patchset on top that should fix it up for JetBrains and similar. Please give that a whirl if possible and report back, to be sure all is good now for the 3.30 series and we can stabilize that revision soon.
Comment 15 Jan Henke 2019-08-18 17:43:18 UTC
I just did a quick test of -r4 and it seemed to work. No freeze in JetBrains dialogues.
Comment 16 Kamil Kamiński 2019-08-18 21:14:50 UTC
+1, no freeze with my previous workflow
Comment 17 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-08-19 16:18:39 UTC
Thanks. Hopefully I remember to stabilize that -r4 at some point before 3.32 introduction and stabilization :)
